i dont think many people would even know if they havent been told this and if there isnt any incidents of it happening to switches, i dont think anyone is going to mind.

Samsung's problem lies not with the battery but with poor case design with too much give and flex. The case should protect the battery and other internals. When the battery is flexed there's a chance of an internal leak that mixes the chemicals in a way that they catch fire or explode (heat + compression is a good recipe for explosion).
